[Konvas] cine Lomos on EOS cameras

[Adam P.Jones]

Yeah, the Canon FD lenses will not focus to infinity on EOS bodies, which sucks because you can get some great FD lenses on Ebay for quite cheap, most likely for the exact reason they can no longer be used with modern cameras.
 
About getting OCT18 lenses on an EOS body it sounds interesting. Maybe it would be an easier task than the OCT19 ones? What is the flange distance for OCT18?

I wished I could get a few of my OCT18 mounted LOMO primes on the front, but at least, much like Olivier's Nikon lens collection, I have other options with my Soviet-made M42 and Pentacon Six mounted lenses.

I have some older Canon FD lenses as well, but I've read that they won't be able to focus to infinity on EOS cameras. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
